Dino Coupé 2000 Rosso Corsa in NL

Great to find this Forum, just for Dino engined cars.
I was asked by a relative if I knew someone to buy his Fiat Dino Coupé (non-runner) and couldn't let it pass myself. So I bought it, re-arranged my garage, moved my 1966 Alfa Romeo GTJ project aside (but not away) and put the Dino in with not much space left.
It came with a US Gardena CA title saying the Dino is from 1970 and it has the Dutch customs papers from 2010, when it was imported into The Netherlands. It was clear that 1970 cannot be the year this Coupé 2000 was built, so I requested for the certificate from the Centro Archivio Storico. After some attempts I got in contact with Paulo, who helped me very friendly. Fiat documentation, books, etc. missing, but nevertheless I ordered the certificate with just the year and month it was built on it.
The Dino had a front grille installed which appeared to be from a Fiat 124 Coupé (it did fit) and it was missing some other items. Fortunately I already acquired an original grille, along with some other parts, but am not complete yet.
Here some details, before I'll be asking questions in next posts:
Month/Year: Settembre 1967
Chassis: 135AC0001324
Engine: 135B 000 0000800
Colour: Rosso Corsa with Black interior
Of course I hope to contribute to this forum with information I have and/or gain.
